Targeed invesor caegory Finnish reail invesors Righ o cancel The Issuer reserves he righ o cancel he offer prior o he Issue Dae. Addiional Selling Resricions No Applicable Addiional Risk Facors Produc-specific risks No person should purchase he Unlimied Cerificaes (he Cerificaes ) linked o he Performance of he BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure (he Underlying or he Index ) unless ha person undersands he mechanics of he Cerificaes and he exen of ha person's exposure o poenial loss. Each prospecive purchaser of Cerificaes should consider carefully wheher he Cerificaes are suiable for i in he ligh 2

3 of such purchaser's circumsances and financial posiion. In his conex, invesors should consider he risks of an invesmen in he Cerificaes (risks relaing o he Issuer, risks relaing o he Underlying as well as risks relaing o he ype of Cerificaes). Prospecive invesors are advised ha in considering wheher or no o purchase he Cerificaes, among oher hings he following should be aken ino accoun: The Cerificaes are no capial-proeced and invesors mus be prepared o susain a loss of heir enire invesmen in he Cerificaes. The maximum loss in relaion o he Cerificaes consiss in a oal loss of he invesed amoun (including ransacion coss). The Cerificaes do no bear any ineres. Furhermore, holders of he Cerificaes should noe ha hey do no receive any dividends or oher disribuions. A poenial profi from an invesmen in he Cerificaes can herefore only be made in he case ha he Cerificaes are redeemed a a Redempion Amoun which is above he price paid for he purchase of he Cerificaes. The marke value of he Cerificaes can be volaile. I will be affeced by a number of facors independen of he crediworhiness of he Issuer and he value of he Underlying, including, bu no limied o, he volailiy of he Underlying, marke ineres and yield raes and he ime remaining o any Redempion Dae. In addiion, he value of he Underlying depends on a number of inerrelaed facors, including economic, financial and poliical evens as well as facors affecing capial markes generally. The price a which a Cerificaeholder will be able o sell Cerificaes may be a a discoun which could be subsanial from price paid for he purchase of he Cerificaes. The hisorical prices of he Underlying should no be aken as an indicaion of he Underlying s fuure performance during he lifeime of he Cerificaes. Under cerain limied circumsances as se forh in hese Final Terms, he Cerificaes may be erminaed by he Issuer, which may adversely affec he economics of he Cerificaes for he invesor. There can be no assurance as o how he Cerificaes will rade in he secondary marke or wheher such marke will be liquid or illiquid. Applicaion has been made o lis he Cerificaes on he Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ld. No assurance can be given ha here will be a marke for he Cerificaes. Special risks relaing o Unlimied Cerificaes linked o he Performance of he BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure General The Unlimied Cerificaes linked o he Performance of he BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure will gran he invesor he righ o reques paymen, a specific Redempion Daes, from he Issuer of a Redempion Amoun corresponding o he Reference Price of he Index on he Valuaion Dae. The Valuaion Dae in ha conex will always be he enh Index Calculaion Day prior o he Redempion Dae seleced by he Cerificaeholder. An Index Calculaion Day will be a day on which he Index Calculaion Agen normally calculaes and publishes he Index in accordance wih he Index Descripion. The Index will be calculaed and published by Commerzbank in is capaciy as Index Calculaion Agen. The Index is a sraegy index ha is composed of a leverage and an ineres componen and relaes o a specific fuures conrac in each case. The leverage componen will, in percenage erms, correspond o hree imes he daily movemens of he relevan fuures conrac. I is a feaure of he Cerificaes ha no auomaic paymen of he Redempion Amoun represened by he Cerificaes is scheduled a any ime during he erm of he Cerificaes. Paymen of he Redempion Amoun will generally be coningen upon prior redempion of he relevan Cerificae upon he reques of he Cerificaeholder in accordance wih he Terms and Condiions. In addiion, invesors should pay paricular aenion o he following poins: 3

4 Loss risks A change in he price of one or several index componens may resul in a significan reducion of he Redempion Amoun of he Cerificaes below he iniial purchase price in line wih he performance of he Index and, hus, a significan loss for he Cerificaeholder in relaion o he purchase price paid for he Cerificaes. Invesors should pay paricular aenion o he fac ha he daily changes (i.e., he change beween wo subsequenly following Closing Prices of he Underlying as defined in he Index Descripion aached o he Terms and Condiions (he Index Descripion )) in relaion o he fuures conrac underlying he Index will have hree imes ha effec in percenage erms on he value of he Index and, hus, he value of he Cerificae; his means ha, he more he price of he fuures conrac falls on a rading day, he lower he Index Level will be on ha rading day and vice versa, wih he daily changes in relaion o he Index being inensified in boh direcions as a resul of he riple leverage. In he case of an unfavourable performance of he Index, here is a risk ha some or all of he invesed capial may be los. In addiion, he coss associaed wih he purchase or sale of he Cerificaes mus be aken ino accoun when considering he economic aspecs of an invesmen. Risks resuling from he way he BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure works The Index is composed of a so-called leverage componen and a financing componen. Leverage componen: When calculaing he Index, he leverage componen reflecs he purchase of he fuures conrac ha underlies he Index wih a riple leverage effec on he leverage componen. A price gain in relaion o he fuures conrac as compared o is Closing Price of he Underlying as defined in he Index Descripion on he preceding day will lead o a riple increase in he leverage componen in percenage erms and vice versa. If he price gain as compared o he previous day is 10%, he value of he leverage componen will increase by 30%; if he fuures conrac s price as compared o he previous day falls by 10%, he value of he leverage componen will fall by 30%. However, invesors should noe ha he calculaion of he Index will be influenced by he daily price performance of he fuures conrac underlying he Index during he enire erm of he Cerificaes commencing from heir issuance; he daily price performance in percenage erms will in each case be deermined by reference o he Closing Price of he Underlying as defined in he Index Descripion on he preceding day. A comparison of he fuures conrac price a he ime of issue and he fuures conrac price on he Valuaion Dae is of no relevance. The following phenomena may occur in ha regard: If he price of he fuures conrac ha underlies he Index consisenly increases from, for insance, EUR 10 over 10 days by EUR 0.1 o EUR 11, he price gain in relaion o he fuures conrac will be 10%, while he value of he leverage componen will no have risen by 30%, bu insead by 32.74%. If he price of he fuures conrac consisenly decreases by EUR 0.1 o EUR 9, he value of he leverage componen will no have fallen by 30%, bu insead by only 27.35%. If he price of a fuures conrac moves in differen direcions following issuance of he Cerificaes (i.e. if boh price gains and price losses occur) and if he price of he fuures conrac reurns o is level a issuance, he value of he leverage componen will no rever o, bu will be (as a resul of he leverage effec possibly significanly) below is iniial level. If he price of he fuures conrac ha underlies he Index falls significanly a any ime during he erm of he Cerificaes, he value of he leverage componen will fall o a very low level. Alhough his means ha all laer price gains in relaion o he fuures conrac will lead o price gains in relaion o he leverage componen and hus he Index, invesors mus noe in his regard ha he base level for a price recovery in relaion o he Index may be very low and ha, herefore, significan price gains in relaion o he relevan fuures conrac will only have a moderae effec on he recovery of he Index. Ineres componen: The ineres componen resuls from he invesmen in a risk-free money marke insrumen (EONIA), less a per annum rae ha akes ino accoun he Index Calculaion Agen's coss for margins regarding fuures conracs and less he Index Fees. If, on any day, he 4

5 margin coss plus he Index Fees, exceed he ineres income based on he EONIA rae for ha day, losses will be incurred insead of ineres gains. In ha case, he ineres componen would be negaive and would reduce he value of he Index on ha day. Unlimied Cerificaes; Exercise Requiremen; Sale of he Cerificaes I is a feaure of hese Cerificaes ha no auomaic paymen of he Redempion Amoun represened by hem is scheduled a any ime during he erm. Paymen of he Redempion Amoun will generally be coningen upon prior redempion of he relevan Cerificae upon he reques of he Cerificaeholder in accordance wih 2 of he Terms and Condiions. Oher provisions will apply only in case he Issuer gives ordinary noice of erminaion in relaion o he Cerificaes in accordance wih 3 of he Terms and Condiions. In all oher cases, here can be no guaranee ha he Cerificaeholder will receive he Redempion Amoun represened by he Cerificaes in he absence of redempion. Since i is uncerain wheher he Issuer will erminae he Cerificaes, he Cerificaeholder will be forced volunarily o redeem he Cerificaes in accordance wih 2 of he Terms and Condiions if he inends o receive he Redempion Amoun represened by he Cerificaes. Cerificaeholders should noe ha redempion of he Cerificaes is possible only wih effec as of he las Paymen Business Day in March, June, Sepember and December (as se ou in deail in he Terms and Condiions). In beween hese Redempion Daes, he economic value represened by he Cerificaes can be realised solely by virue of a sale of he Cerificaes. A sale of he Cerificaes, however, will be dependen upon he availabiliy of marke paricipans who are prepared o purchase he Cerificaes a a corresponding price. If no such marke paricipans can be found, i may be impossible o realise he value of he Cerificaes. Invesors canno rely upon he availabiliy of a liquid marke for he Cerificaes and, hus, he possibiliy o realise he asses invesed in he Cerificaes by selling he Cerificaes. Invesors should hus be prepared o hold he Cerificaes unil he nex available Redempion Dae. The BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure is no an esablished index When evaluaing he Cerificaes, invesors mus ake ino accoun ha he Index is no an index ha has been esablished in he marke. Insead, he main reason why Commerzbank Akiengesellschaf calculaes his Index is so ha i may serve as a reference for he Cerificaes underlying hese Terms and Condiions. Conflics of ineres Regarding he issuance of he Cerificaes, Commerzbank Akiengesellschaf performs a number of funcions. On he one hand, Commerzbank Akiengesellschaf acs as Issuer of he Cerificaes, and on he oher hand, i acs as he Index Calculaion Agen and Index Sponsor and herefore decides upon he composiion of he Index. I canno be ruled ou ha Commerzbank Akiengesellschaf will be subjec o cerain conflics of ineres in performing hese various funcions. When pursuing business aciviy no direcly relaed o he issuance of he Cerificaes or he composiion and calculaion of he Index, he Issuer or any of is affiliaes may pursue acions and ake seps ha i deems, or hey deem, necessary or appropriae o proec is or heir respecive ineress wihou regard o any negaive consequences his may have for he Cerificaeholders. Deducion of an Index Fee Invesors mus noe ha an Index Fee of % of he Index level per calendar day (0.5% p.a.) will be deduced from he level of he Index during he calculaion of he Index for he managemen and calculaion of he Index. This means ha he Index will fall, or no gain in value, in he case of consan or slighly increasing prices of he Index Componens. In he case of falling prices of he Index Componens, he deducion of he Index Fee will reinforce he negaive price performance of he Index. Generally, he deducion of he Index Fee will resul in a reducion of he value of he Index and, hus, he Cerificaes. Cerificaes are unsecured obligaions (saus) The obligaions under he Cerificaes consiue direc and uncondiional obligaions of he Issuer ha are no subjec o a real charge (nich dinglich besicher) and, unless oherwise provided by applicable law, rank a leas pari passu wih all oher unsubordinaed obligaions of he Issuer ha 5

6 are no subjec o a real charge. They are neiher secured by he Deposi Proecion Fund of he Associaion of German Banks (Einlagensicherungsfonds des Bundesverbands deuscher Banken e.v.) nor by he German Deposi Guaranee and Invesor Compensaion Ac (Einlagensicherungsund Anlegerenschädigungsgesez). This means ha he invesor bears he risk ha he Issuer's financial siuaion may worsen - or ha insolvency proceedings migh be insiued wih regard o is asses - and ha he Issuer herefore migh be unable o make any paymens due under he Cerificaes. Under hese circumsances, a oal loss of he invesor's capial migh be possible. Risk Facors relaing o he Index Componens The Unlimied Bull Cerificaes relaing o he BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure are associaed wih paricular risks beyond he Issuer's conrol. The underlying of he Index is a fuures conrac. Fuures conracs are sandardised forward ransacions relaing o a financial insrumen (e.g. an index). A fuures conrac represens he conracual obligaion o purchase or sell a cerain quaniy of he relevan conracual objec a a cerain dae and price. Fuures conracs are raded on fuures and opions exchanges and are sandardised for ha purpose wih regard o size of conrac, ype and qualiy of he conracual objec and poenial delivery places and daes. As a rule, here is a close correlaion beween he price performance of he financial insrumen ha underlies a fuures conrac and is raded on a spo marke and he corresponding fuures marke. However, fuures conracs are generally raded a a premium or discoun in relaion o he spo price of he underlying financial insrumen. This difference beween he spo and fuures price, which is referred o as "basis" in fuures and opions exchange jargon, on he one hand resuls from he inclusion of he coss ha are normally incurred in spo ransacions (delivery, ransacion, ec.) and/or he revenues ha are normally associaed wih spo ransacions (ineres, dividends, ec.), and on he oher hand from he differing valuaion of general marke facors in he spo and he fuures marke. In addiion, depending on he value, here can be a significan gap in erms of he liquidiy in he spo and he corresponding fuures marke. As he Cerificaes relae o he fuures conracs specified in he Index Descripion aached o he Terms and Condiions, invesors, in addiion o knowing he marke for he financial insrumen ha underlies he relevan fuures conrac, mus have know-how as o he workings and valuaion facors of forward/fuures ransacions in order o be able o correcly assess he risks associaed wih an invesmen in he Cerificaes. As fuures conracs expire on a cerain dae, he Index Descripion provide ha he Issuer, a a ime sipulaed in Index Descripion, replaces he fuures conrac provided for as he asse underlying he Index in he Index Descripion by anoher fuures conrac ha has a laer expiry dae han he iniial underlying fuures conrac, bu is oherwise subjec o he same conracual specificaions (so-called "Roll-Over"). Coss associaed wih such a Roll-Over which may occur can be aken ino accoun in connecion wih he deerminaion of he Reference Price and may have an effec on he value of he Cerificaes. The Index Descripion may provide for addiional cases in which he Issuer may replace he iniial fuures conrac and/or change parameers of he Index Descripion. Risks relaing o he Issuer Invesors are exposed o he defaul risk of he Issuer. The value of he Cerificaes is no only subjec o he performance of he Underlying, bu among ohers also o he crediworhiness of he Issuer, which may vary over he erm of he Cerificaes. The Cerificaes represen general conracual unsecured, unsubordinaed obligaions of he Issuer and are ranking pari passu wih all oher unsecured unsubordinaed obligaions of he Issuer, save for obligaions preferred by operaion of law.

16 Aachmen o he Terms and Condiions of he Cerificaes BULL DAXF X3 C INDEX RELATING TO DAX FUTURES 1. Index Concep The BULL DAXF X3 C index relaing o he DAX Fuure, which is referred o as he Underlying in "2. Index Definiions", is a sraegy index ha paricipaes in he movemens of he Underlying and ha is composed of a leverage and an ineres componen. The leverage componen reflecs he riple purchase of he Underlying (long posiion). This means ha an increase in he Underlying beween wo consecuive Official Index Closing Levels will cause he leverage componen o riple in percenage erms. If he Underlying falls, he leverage componen will be reduced accordingly. This leverage effec will have a disproporionaely high effec on he Index, boh in he case of posiive as well as negaive movemens of he Underlying. The ineres componen resuls from an invesmen in a riskless money marke insrumen (EONIA), less he Index Fees and less a per annum rae (ICS), which akes ino accoun he Index Calculaion Agen's coss for margins regarding fuures conracs. If, on any day, he margin coss (ICS), plus he Index Fees, exceed he ineres income based on he EONIA rae for ha day, losses will be incurred insead of ineres gains. In ha case, he ineres componen would be negaive and would reduce he value of he Index on ha day. The Index will be coninually updaed during he Underlying s rading hours on he Relevan Fuures Exchange by he Index Calculaion Agen; his means ha he Index will be re-calculaed upon each change in he Underlying s price. The Index Calculaion Agen will charge an annual Index Fee of 0.5% p.a., which will be deduced daily (based on a year comprising 360 days) during he calculaion of he Index. The described Index is no a recognised financial index, bu raher a cusomised sraegy index ha is calculaed by Commerzbank. 2. Index Definiions "Banking Day" is a day on which he banks in Frankfur am Main are normally open for general banking ransacions. "Closing Price of he Underlying" wih regard o an Index Calculaion Dae is he average of he firs joinly deermined and published bid and offer prices of he Underlying afer 5:30pm (CET). "EONIA": The EONIA (Euro Overnigh Index Average) rae is an effecive overnigh rae, which has been deermined by he European Cenral Bank on a daily basis since 1 January 1999 and which is compued as he weighed average of all unsecured overnigh lending ransacions in he inerbank marke. In he Eurozone, he panel banks conribue o he deerminaion of EONIA. The "ICS" rae is o ake ino accoun he fac ha he Index Calculaion Agen incurs margin coss when rading in fuures conracs.

Index Calculaion") based on he Closing Price of he Underlying and he fixing of he EONIA rae. If no bid and/or offer price is deermined for he Underlying afer 5:30pm (CET) on an Index Calculaion Dae, he value of he Index as las calculaed on ha Index Calculaion Dae shall be used as he Official Index Closing Level. The "Relevan Fuures Exchange" is EUREX, a derivaives exchange joinly operaed by Deusche Börse AG and SIX Swiss Exchange.The definiion of he Relevan Fuures Exchange may be amended by he Index Calculaion Agen if his is deemed necessary in order o, for insance, ake accoun of he fac ha he Relevan Fuures Exchange has ceased rading in cerain securiies. Any changes o he definiion of he Relevan Fuures Exchange will be published in accordance wih "4. Index Publicaion". "Roll-Over Period" is he period commencing on he second Banking Day prior o a regular Final Selemen Day of he DAX Fuure wih he shores mauriy afer deerminaion of he Closing Price of he Underlying and ending on he Final Selemen Day of he DAX Fuure wih he shores mauriy.

If he sar of he Roll-Over Period is posponed repeaedly, he Roll-Over Period shall be limied o he Final Selemen Day. In ha case, an Exraordinary Index Adjusmen will occur for expiraion reasons (see "5. Exraordinary Index Adjusmen").

This does no apply during he period commencing on he second Banking Day prior o a Final Selemen Day following deerminaion of he Official Index Closing Level and ending a he Expiraion Time on he Final Selemen Day (he "Roll-Over Period"). In ha regard, "Final Selemen Day" refers o he final selemen day deermined by he Relevan Fuures Exchange for he DAX Fuure wih he shores mauriy. For ha period, he DAX Fuure wih he secondshores mauriy shall be he Underlying.
